Temperature Measurement Principle(Instrumentation & Control)

Instrumentation and control

What you'll learn

Delegate should be able to define temperature and its measurement units

Convert temperature values between scales

Explain the importance of temperature detection and control

Understand the working principle of Temperature measurement instrument like the thermocouple, RTD, Thermistors, bimetallic strip, pyrometers etc.

know the criteria for selecting temperature measurement Sensors

Requirements

No experience needed, you will learn from the basic, all you need is your commitment to learn

Description

Temperature can be measured when detected, it can be monitored for a change and can be controlled as desired. We can only achieve all of this through instruments designed for these purposes. The human sense of feel may not be sufficient to give us an accurate value for how hot or cold a body is, because what seems hot to mr A might just be moderate hot for Mr B, this relativity in the sense organs is addressed by temperature measurement devices. In the design and the choice of selection of these instruments, one must have an idea of the principle behind it.This course will help you in the selection, troubleshooting, repairs, installation and maintenance of such measurement instruments. This course deals with the selection, basic principle, advantages and disadvantages of these temperature devices. upon completion of this course the learner will have a broader knowledge that will help his/her career path. The usefulness of temperature control in various industries cannot be over emphasize. The doctor will want to know the temperature of his/her patient before administering certain drugs, the chemist will want to have an idea of the temperature of a substance before commencing mixing or blending. In the food and beverages, the baker will want all snacks to be baked with a particular temperature. Separation processes in the oil and gas industry require mixtures to separate into their different phases at certain temperatures. Temperature control therefore is needed in every aspect of life. As you go through the course, you will understand why certain type of detectors are restricted to certain area of your plant. This course is essential to bridge the knowledge gap required to work effectively in your industry.
